Selective contacts for crystalline silicon solar cells

Tom, Thomas (Date of defense: 2023-07-13)

[eng] Global energy use has increased, causing a rapid shift in the climate. Renewable energy sources such as solar energy must replace fossil fuels to slow down this trend. In order to achieve this, the amount of power ...

A study of the shortwave schemes in the Weather Research and Forecasting model

Montornès Torrecillas, Alex (Date of defense: 2017-02-09)

The radiative transfer cannot be explicitly resolved in the atmospheric models for two reasons: i) a full treatment of the radiative transfer equation (RTE) requires a high amount of computational resources and ii) the ...

Tornadic events in the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands: characteristics and environmental conditions

Rodríguez i Ballester, Oriol (Date of defense: 2021-05-06)

Tornadoes are the meteorological phenomenon which can produce the strongest surface wind on Earth, causing damage, injuries and fatalities. Several studies show that severe storm environments could be more frequent due to ...

Z-scan methods for ultrashort pulsed laser microprocessing of transparent materials

Caballero Lucas, Francesc (Date of defense: 2019-10-15)

The use of femtosecond lasers has recently gained attention as a result of the recognition to Gérard Mourou and Donna Strickland with the award of the Nobel Prize in Physics 2018 "for their method of generating high-intensity, ...
